The World Series has an orange and ancient hue this season, with the San Francisco Giants playing the Detroit Tigers.

Although both teams were established in the 19th century, this is their first World Series meeting.

Here are some other facts about these teams:

Tigers infield coach Rafael Belliard played in the majors for at least part of 17 seasons. He finished his career with one more homer (two) than World Series rings (one, 1995 with Atlanta). He's a cousin of former Brewers infielder Ronnie Belliard.

Giants shortstop Brandon Crawford hit a grand slam in his first major-league game. It was May 27, 2011, at Miller Park off Shaun Marcum. The Giants won, 5-4.

The oldest player on either roster is Giants reliever Guillermo Mota, 39, who pitched 58 games for the Brewers in 2008. The youngest is Tigers outfielder Avisail Garcia, 21. The tallest is Tigers pitcher Doug Fister, 6 feet 8 inches. The shortest - Giants second baseman Marco Scutaro and reliever Sergio Romo. Both are 5-10 but have stood tall in this postseason. The heaviest? You know the answer to that. Old friend Prince Fielder weighs in at (and we're trusting the Tigers roster here) 275 pounds.
